Do you use any of the trains that go through North Dulwich, East Dulwich, Peckham Rye, Queens Road, & South Bermondsey to London Bridge, or the South London Line that runs from London Bridge to Victoria via South Bermondsey, Queens Rd, Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill?
If so, please consider volunteering to become part of Southern Rail's Passenger Panel to give your views. It would be very good to have Southwark rail users on the Panel to give feedback on our parts of the services, so hope some of you volunteer. See below for details.

Message from Southern Rail:

Network Rail is launching the first ever Nationwide stations research project asking passengers what is important to them at their local station, where they would like to see investment and what are their priorities. They say they want to know what passengers want from stations and what's important to them. See further information in their Press Release below. This seems an opportunity not be missed to tell them what we think of our own stations - Peckham Rye, Queens Road Peckham, South Bermondsey, East Dulwich, Nunhead, Denmark Hill. Let's get lots of local users taking part so they really get the message about what needs to be improved. If you need another incentive - you might win an annual season ticket or £2000 if you take part! The survey can be accessed online at http://www.networkrail.co.uk/actionstations...

 From the Southern Stakeholder Brief:    Oyster pay as you go top ups

Passengers in South London can now ‘top-up’ their Oyster pay as you go cards at Southern stations using the ticket vending machines. This addition comes in advance of the roll out of Oyster pay as you go on the National Rail network in London planned for early 2010. Read Stakeholder Brief
